Singles Play Helps Bulldogs To 5-2 Win Over Dayton

Jan 31, 2009

Indianapolis, Ind. - Butler rallied from a loss
at the doubles point to score wins at the top five singles
positions en route to a strong 5-2 victory over visiting Dayton on
Saturday (Jan. 31) afternoon.

The top doubles tandem of Gabriella
Bobrowski and Natali Jaimes
scored their most dominant win of the early season, sweeping past
Nikki Dzubay and Kelly O'Connell, 8-0. Dayton would rebound in the
final two battles, however, and carried a 1-0 advantage into
singles play.

Despite an early defeat at the No. 6 singles spot, the Bulldogs
would respond with impressive showings at the remaining positions.

Jaimes would score a convincing 6-0, 6-3 win at the top spot
over Loni Dickerhoof, while Bobrowski tallied a 6-1, 6-3 decision
at No. 4 against Dzubay. Molly Casperson
picked up a 6-4, 6-1 win at No. 2 over Laina Grote, Becky Jenkins
ousted Chelsea Glankler at No. 3 by a score of 6-2, 6-4, and Cam Thompson
chipped in a solid 6-2, 6-2 decision over O'Connell at No. 5.

The win improves the Bulldogs to 2-0 on the spring.

Butler returns to action on Sunday (Feb. 1) when it heads to
Bloomington, Ind., for a 4:00 battle with Indiana.
